They look cool, and people want to put them out there.”But what matters most is the likability factor. “The older sleds are just cool,” says Hume. “I can’t imagine anyone getting excited about an old plastic disc, but these sleds are beloved.”Your turn: Please share your stories of sleds — real or decorative!See more ways to bring rustic style into your home
